• IF YOU SMELL GAS:

* Do not light any appliance * Extinguish any open flame * Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything * Open windows and vacate building * Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire

department

• This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of an explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can inform you of those people considered qualified. The room heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.

• The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation will void the warranty and safety listing.

• Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this heater as well.

• It is imperative that control compartments, screens, or circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean and free of obstructions. These areas provide the air necessary for safe operation.

• This heater is either approved for natural gas (NG) or propane (LP). Burning the incorrect fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and may cause an extreme safety hazard. Check the label above the gas control valve to make sure it matches the fuel being used. Direct questions about the type of fuel used to your dealer.

• If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or extremely tall, do not operate the heater. Call your dealer and arrange for proper servicing.

• Do not operate the heater if it is not operating properly in any fashion or if you are uncertain. Call your dealer for a full

explanation of your heater and what to expect.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

• Keep all furniture or other combustible items at least 36" away from the front of the heater.

• Do not operate if any portion of the heater was submerged in water or if any corrosion occurs.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED) PAGE 3

• Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the heater. Because this heater can be controlled by a thermostat there is a possibility of the heater turning on and igniting any items placed on or near it.

• The viewing glass should be opened for service only (see the maintenance section of this manual).

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

• Operate the heater according to the instructions included in this manual.

• If the main burners do not start correctly turn the gas off at the gas control valve and call your dealer for service.

• Light the heater using the built-in piezo igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light your heater.

• Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in this manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.

• Allow the heater to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

• The pilot flame must contact the thermopile and thermocouple (see the illustration to the left). If it does not, turn the gas control valve to "OFF" and call your dealer.

• This unit is not for use with solid fuel

• Do not place anything inside the firebox (except the included fiber logs).

• If the fiber logs become damaged, replace with Travis Industries log set.

• Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a hightemperature heater. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the heater.

• Instruct everyone in the house how to shut gas off to the appliance and at the gas main shutoff valve. The gas main shutoff valve is usually next to the gas meter or propane tank and requires a wrench to shut off.

STOVE INSTALLATION (CONT.) - For Qualified Installers Only! PAGE 13

Approved Vent Configurations

estrictor Position

• A vent restrictor is built

into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper flames for the wide variety of vent configurations. The restrictor consists of a butterfly valve below the starter section of pipe and an adjustment plate with index holes used to hold the valve in a fixed position. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for approved vent configurations describe which position the vent restrictor must be in.

To Adjust the Restrictor:

Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under "Approved Vent Configurations" - the stock position is #1).

Remove the screw with a 1/4" nutdriver (or screwdriver).

Rotate the adjustment plate clockwise until the correct index hole is below the pivot point.

Insert the screw into the correct index hole and tighten.

The eleven holes on the restrictor plate correspond to the eleven restrictor positions.

Approved Vent Configurations

Restrictor Position

• A vent restrictor is

built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper flames for the wide variety of vent configurations. The restrictor consists of a butterfly valve below the starter section of pipe and an adjustment plate with index holes used to hold the valve in a fixed position. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictor position. Use the illustrations below to determine the correct restrictor position

To Adjust the Restrictor:

Determine the correct restrictor position (see the charts under "Approved Vent Configurations" - the stock position is #1).

Remove the screw with a 1/4" nutdriver (or screwdriver).

Rotate the adjustment plate clockwise until the correct index hole is below the pivot point.

Insert the screw into the correct index hole and tighten.

The eleven holes on the restrictor plate correspond to the eleven restrictor positions.

6 Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct

looking flame (see the illustration below).

• The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes.

It is used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.

Locate the air shutter adjustment lever behind the gas control valve. Move it up or down until the flame looks correct. Pushing up gives the flame more air (making it bluer). Pulling it down cuts air down, making it more orange.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way up, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.

The pilot flame is required to ignite the main burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut off or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently, call your dealer for information. To start the pilot follow the directions below:

NOTE: IF YOU'RE TRYING TO RE-LIGHT THE PILOT BECAUSE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON THE UNIT (I.E. GAS LINE REMOVED THEN RE-INSTALLED OR BECAUSE TANK RAN OUT OF GAS), FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING THE GLASS AND LOGS ON PAGES 26 THROUGH 28 THEN BLEED THE GAS LINE.

A Push the gas control knob in

slightly and turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is depressed slightly.

B Wait five minutes to let any

gas that may have accumulated inside the firebox escape. If you smell gas, follow the directions on the cover "IF YOU SMELL GAS".

C Turn the gas control knob to

the "PILOT" position and press the knob in, this will allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the red button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot light. KEEP THE GAS CONTROL KNOB DEPRESSED FOR 30 SECONDS ONCE IT IS LIT. NOTE: IF THE

PILOT DOES NOT LIGHT AFTER 15 SECONDS, RELEASE THE KNOB AND CALL YOUR DEALER FOR SERVICE.

D Release the gas control

knob. If the pilot goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses to stay lit, call your dealer for service.

E Turn the gas control knob

counter-clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and the stove can be turned on and off.

Starting the Stove for the First Time

+ Fumes and smoke from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel may occur the first time you

start your stove. This is normal. We recommend you open windows to vent the room.

+ Condensation may appear on the glass each time you start the stove - this is normal. + Blue Flames will occur on the stove when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will

turn a more realistic yellow and orange color.

? Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the stove on and off. If this is the case, leave

the ON/OFF switch "ON".

Turning the Stove On and Off

After the pilot has been started...

For systems with thermostats, use this switch to control the temperature (right is hotter, left cooler). Some systems require the on/off switch to be on.

Use this switch to turn the main burner on and off manually.

See the instructions included with the remote for changing the battery.

See the instructions included with the remote for details on operation.

! Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the stove, even temporarily. The

optional thermostat may start the stove causing a combustible item to ignite.

? If the stove turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the flame

height down until it produces just enough heat needed.

Adjusting the Flame Height

+ Your stove has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs. It is

adjusted by turning the middle dial on the gas control valve.

PAGE 34 MAINTAINING YOUR HEATER

Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance

! The enameled surfaces may chip if struck. Damaged surfaces may be repaired using the enamel touch-up paint available

from Travis Industries.

! Fingerprints or other marks left on the gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior to

turning the stove on. Clean the surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth.

Cleaning Your Stove

• Use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean the gold surfaces (make sure the appliance is cool). Other cleaners may

leave a film that may become etched into the gold.

• Enameled surfaces may be cleaned with a soft rag, soap and water.

Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We

recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

1 Check the pilot flame. It should engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it

does not, contact your dealer for service.

2 Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page 31).

Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Open the door (see step 1 on page 26).

3 Remove the logs, twigs and embers (see page 27 - NOTE: the logs are fragile). If any log is cracked or deteriorated,

replace it when re-installing. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.

4 Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:

• Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.

• Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.

• Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame. It should impinge the top 3/8” of the thermopile and engulf the thermocouple.

Pilot Hood

Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for deterioration.

Burner Pan

Make sure the burner pan seals against the floor of the firebox.

5 Replace the log set. Inspect the glass and door gasket. If it is deteriorated, replace. It may be re-attached using high-

temperature gasket cement. If the glass is damaged, replace it. Close the door. Make sure the gasket forms a seal and the side pieces of glass butt up against the center piece. If needed, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the door.

6 Inspect the area behind the control cover. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is found,

discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.

7 Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If

the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower operation.

8 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found

near the vent termination.

How this Fireplace Works

! This fireplace was designed with safety as the primary concern. Many of the components inside this

fireplace are for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this fireplace.

What Turns the Main Burners On and Off

This fireplace uses a millivolt system to control its operation (a millivolt is a very small amount of electricity). The thermopile and thermocouple generate electricity when heated by the pilot flame. This electricity is used to operate the gas valve. Without enough electricity, the gas valve will not turn on. That is why when starting the pilot the gas control knob has to be pressed in long enough for the thermocouple to heat up and generate enough electricity. The thermopile provides power for the ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat (see the illustration below). Because the thermopile generates the electricity needed to turn the fireplace on and off, this fireplace can be operated when the power is out (although the blower will not run).

When heated, the thermopile generates electricity (a very small amount, measured in "Millivolts").

This electricity is used to operate the main burners.

The main burners are switched on and off using the electricity generated by the thermopile.

VENT

OFF

PILOT ADJ

The ON/OFF switch, remote control, or thermostat control the circuit to the main burner.

MAIN BURNER

What Prevents Gas Buildup

+ This appliance utilizes a high-technology gas valve in conjunction with a pilot flame to ensure no

gas builds up inside the firebox.

+ The thermocouple (next to the pilot) senses when the pilot flame is lit. If the pilot flame goes out,

this thermocouple no longer generates electricity, causing the gas valve to automatically shut off all gas to the heater, preventing the pilot from spilling gas into the firebox.

Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is a time-proven component that eliminates the possibility of gas buildup inside the firebox.

Gas Valve

This high-technology valve automatically shuts off all gas if it does not receive a signal from the thermocouple. If any component is damged or sensing a malfunction, or if the wiring is damaged, it will shut off all gas.

PILOT ADJ

VENT

OFF

External Shut Off Valve

This valve is placed on the gas line to shut off gas to the appliance during maintenance procedures.

Thermocouple

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity. If the pilot flame goes out, the gas valve automatically shuts off all gas.

Ceramic Glass

The glass in your heater is the most durable glass available. It has been tested to be extremely resistant to breakage and temperature changes.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) PAGE 37

Why Nothing Should Be Placed Against the Heater

Your heater has a grill on the sides and top that must not be blocked. These grills are used to draw room air over the hottest parts of the heater and distribute the warmed air into the room. If they are blocked, the heater will not heat as well and may become too hot internally.

2 On stoves, route the thermostat wire through the gas inlet hole. For inserts, run the thermostat wire

behind the surround panels. Pull through all the slack (you may wish to wrap the wire in electrical tape to prevent damage to the wire). Determine a location for the thermostat that is within range of the 50' length of thermostat wire. It should be centralized in the room and away from the heater. The wire may be routed externally on the wall or behind the wall (preferred).

3 Cut the thermostat wire so there is approximately 6" of slack (NOTE: Do not splice thermostat wires

together–this leads to too much electrical resistance). Expose 1/2" off each wire of the thermostat wire. Attach the exposed wire to the clips on the back of the thermostat using a screwdriver.

Expose 1/2" of wire and attach

to the two connections on the back of the thermostat (use a screwdriver). Orientation does not matter.

Run the thermostat wire through the

wall (cut off excess wire, leaving 6" of slack)

4 Pull the cover off the thermostat. Place the thermostat in location and attach it to the wall through

the two obround holes (use the appropriate screws for the type of wall it is being attached to). Replace the cover on the thermostat to complete the installation.

Pull the cover off the thermostat to expose the

holes for mounting the thermostat.

Use the appropriate screws to mount the thermostat to the wall.

ADDENDUM #1 Altitude Considerations

This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have found that the fireplace, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment. For information on adjusting the air shutter see page 29 of this manual.

! Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a

safety hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

ADDENDUM #2 Class A Chimney Conversion Kit

Simpson Duravent provides a conversion kit for those wishing to use an existing wood stove chimney to vent this direct vent stove. The illustration below gives an overview of this type of installation. See the instructions included with the kit for details.

! The conversion kit does not work on interior masonry chimneys. ! Do not exceed the maximum vertical rise (see the section

"Approved Vent Configurations" starting on page 13) allowable. Remember to set the restrictor position to the correct position (based upon the vertical rise height - see the chart on page 14).
